My father lives in Tweed Heads and knows I'm a big fan. He phoned to say that Jimmy is playing at The Sands Hotel tonight for free, I asked him if he'd been drinking - he said yes but he was telling the truth. He called me back from The Sands and he was correct, he got right up the front and took ...

Each weekend I've been playing Jimmy's back catalogue in order of release. After listening to Hot Water, Off To See The Lizard then Feeding Frenzy it occurred to me that none of the songs off these previous 2 studio albums had made it on to the live album.

PS: As I was eating much lunch I glanced ...

This occured 6 years before I was born but I've heard it said many times by relatives that when the initial headlines hit Australia the first question asked was "why would anyone shoot Graham Kennedy?" (He was a very popular Australian entertainer). I guess this initial reaction points to how obsurd ...

After the surgery he received a "get well soon" card from John Wayne Bobbitt.

Queue Jerry Reed’s “She got the gold mine (I got the shaft)”.

Thanks mate, perhaps my copy made it's way from England. All my other early JB's are ABC Dunhill, although my Havana Daydreamin' isn't a gatefold (I think it came out as a gatefold) even though it's made from good early-mid 1970's thick cardboard stock.
I wish the MCA CD back catalogue had kept ...

Noticed last night that my vinyl copy of A1A is on the Probe label, not ABC Dunhill. Anybody know the story behind this?

Grab a copy of Tales from Margaritaville, Jimmy's written a short story about one.

"Lizard" was the last Jimmy vinyl LP I bought, was "Feeding Frenzy" ever realeased on vinyl? In Australia the phase out started in 1990-91.

The album is One Particular Harbour on MCA Records, and it features fresh production and exciting new energy from Jimmy Buffett. As in the title track, Jimmy’s songs take one to a tropical dream setting where shorts and Hawaiian shirts are mandatory. Everyone ...

Life as a “tire swing”
The Music Gig – May 1976
By Penelope Ross

Jimmy Buffett once wrote a song called Life Is Just A Tire Swing. Now, Jimmy Buffett is no fool, and he knows that nothing is quite as simple as that. But if there is one overriding philosophy to his life, it is his ...

Greetings and salutations, I've uploaded it to jokelben - enjoy!

Hi mate,
I'm hearing distant thunder in Albury right now, not good - no rain, just thunder. This could mean ground strikes.

Clean out your gutters then put a tennis ball inside a shopping bag then place them in your gutters covering the down pipe holes around the house. Keep the ladder leaned ...

Hi Rabbitz, left Port Macquarie last Sunday morning and the fires chased me all the way down the Hume back home to Albury. I lived in Myrtleford when the 2009 fires tore through the area, scariest time of my life.

Looks like it's going to be another one of those summers.

Hang in there, keep the ...

G'day, I was on holidays a couple of weeks ago and found a second hand music store in Brisbane, QLD. I asked the guy behind the counter if he had any Jimmy Buffett LP's (I only needed One Particular Harbour & Floridays to complete my vinyl collection of Jimmy). He said he had a pile out the back he ...

G'day.
Drove the family 6 hours up the Hume to Sydney for the Australia Day longweekend. I was there exactly 2 years ago to see Jimmy at The Hordern Pavillion (the night of the fall).
Stayed in North Sydney and spent a day at the Manly beach then took the ferry into Sydney. We walked to Darling ...

Do you know if the Melbourne, Palais Theatre show was recorded?

I know as we grow older (but not up) time can get distorted but the Hot Water Tour (with The Herbs as support) was in 1988.

I decided to take a punt & turned up at The Palais at 11am and waited around the back on the off chance I could meet the great man when he turned up for his sound check.
At 3pm Mac turned up first, what a nice bloke - chatted, posed for a photo & got an autograph.
Couldn't believe I was the only ...
